This class defines constants for the mathematical values
<I CLASS=emphasis>e</I> and pi, and defines static methods for floating-point trigonometry, exponentiation, and other operations.
It is the equivalent of the C <I CLASS=emphasis>&lt;math.h&gt;</I> functions. It
also contains methods for computing minimum and maximum
values and for generating pseudo-random numbers.
